Cold Crash/Dry Hop

[tater2000]

I have read a lot about dry hopping in the primary vs the secondary, with the general conciseness being, unless you are going to harvest the yeast, do it in the primary.

One thing that really caught my eye was mention of cold crashing before racking. If you are going to cold crash before racking, are you dry hopping in cold wort, or are you going to warm it back up to fermenting temp? Has anyone done this in cold wort? Pro's Con's?

Let us know!

I do a combination. Dry hop at room temp in the keg for 3 days and then cold crash.

I dry hop and then cold crash. I'm really only cold crashing to get the hops to drop out to make racking easier. I keg so I'm doing an extended cold crash the entire time the beer is in the kegerator anyway.

I dry hop at about 68 for 5-7 days (sometimes a second dry hop at 3 days) then cold crash for 24-36 hours and keg. Beers carb faster and pour clear almost immediately.
